business ideas for Airbnb, vrbo, str, vacation rental owners, and property managers

It’s all about differentiation and providing a bespoke guest experience. Imagine adding these words to your listing — “Luxurious water & spa.”

While every luxury rental is pushing to add a hot tub or fireplace, you can actually improve the lives of your guests. When you talk about that in your listing, it instantly makes it stand out more than the other lux rental your future guests are considering.

The science behind Kangen Water ionizer machines lies in electrolysis. The machines apply an electrical charge to your tap water, sending the charged water through an ion exchange system. This process mixes the positive and negative ions with the water, which helps break down molecules.

Here is an in-depth video by Dr Michael Donaldson covering exactly how the water works.

If you want more science, here are some articles and abstracts from the National Library of Medicine:

• How it helps recover from hangovers
• As a potential preventative measure against COVID
• Reducing contamination on produce

Below are a few testimonials. To read lots more, here’s a pdf created by the Truth in Advertising non-profit organization.

• Within 48-hours after drinking the 9.5 pH Kangen water, my mouth sores were totally gone.
• Since owning the unit, I feel more hydrated and resilient to strenuous activities. My recovery time from physical stress in and outside of the gym is cut almost in half. The alkaline water taste is clean and crisp. 
• For the first 2 days I could feel a physical change in my own body. I feel more hydrated, my skin has improved, and I feel more balanced than I have in years.
• Altitude sickness and headaches are gone! Energy to burn!
• I dealt with arthritis pain in my knees and back every day of my life. After 3 months of drinking the water, I noticed that my joint and back pain was completely gone!

Think about what guests are likely eating and drinking while staying at your rental. They’re on vacation – which means they are probably taxing their bodies with a mix of unhealthy foods and alcohol. 

Kangen Water instantly reduces acidity and changes the stomach biome to better reduce acidity and counteract the effects of your guests’ intake.

Guests will also instantly feel more hydrated, as the higher pH starts working as soon as the water hits your tongue.

As a personal anecdote, when my mother comes to visit my family, she notices an instant change in her morning bathroom routine — going from needing 1+ hours to “go” at home … to finding instant bowel relief on her first day of drinking Kangen Water. 

First, the more luxury amenities you add to your listing, the more you can charge.

Second, the water ionizers (and all products) sold by Enagic exist in an affiliate/network marketing structure. That means you can earn hundreds to thousands of dollars if anyone buys a machine through you.

How you go about promoting the business-side of things is up to you. And, if you do decide that you want passive income, I am here to help you create a non-salesy marketing plan that provides the needed information to guests without them feeling like they are being sold to during their vacation.

Here is a chart of the commissions you can earn from selling one K8 ionizer. For a full breakdown of the Enagic compensation plan, read this article.

As taste is completely subjective, there is no finite answer to this. Personally, I prefer the taste of my tap water when it comes through my K8 ionizer.

Upon doing some research, I did find this testimonial, which I particularly resonate with:

Alkaline water from a water ionizer tastes just like natural artesian spring water-deeply refreshing and smooth, with a slightly sweeter and more satisfying taste than plain H2O. Wondering why this is? It all comes down to the healthy alkalinity and antioxidant potential of alkaline hydrate minerals. In other words, alkaline water tastes like artesian spring water because these two types of H20 have everything in common. So next time you’re feeling parched, reach for a refreshing glass of alkaline water and enjoy!

All Enagic Kangen Water ionizers have a filter to remove contaminants and minerals.

The filter does NOT remove chlorine or fluoride. For that, you can get a simple pre-filter. However, pre-filters also strip your water of essential life. Kangen Water ionizers put the “life” back into your water.

With pH levels ranging from 2.5 – 11.5, Kangen Water does so much more that simply provide hydration and health benefits to the body. The different pH levels can also:

• Replace toxic cleaning products.
• Removes pesticides, wax coatings, proteins and fats which cause bacterial growth and other harmful industrial chemicals attached to your raw food.
• Enhances the taste of your food. Kangen Water is able to draw out the flavor of your food, making great tasting soup and gravy!
• Beauty water has astringent properties and can be used as a facial wash, facial toner, and an excellent after-shave toner.
• Replaces your hair conditioner after shampooing and reducing occurrence of tangles in your hair.
• Sanitization – A strong disinfectant used in beauty salons, restaurants, pet shops, and nursing homes to sanitize equipment and hands.
• Medical-Grade Water – Used in hundreds of hospitals in Japan. EPA-approved official disinfectant. Hypochlorous acid can be used to treat athletes foot and other skin disorders.
